Autonomous Navigation in Large‐Scale Underground Environments Based on a Purely Topological Understanding of Tunnel Networks

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 4, Page 2671-2692, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This work presents a non‐geometrical navigation approach based on a purely topological understanding of underground environments. By conceptualizing subterranean scenarios as a set of tunnels that intersect with each other, and taking a navigation approach based on topological instructions, we simplify the navigation problem to the sequential ...

A Robust Visual Inertial Odometry SLAM Considering Robot Self Dynamics

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, Volume 11, Issue 3, Page 784-797, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In this paper, to deal with the dynamic SLAM problem, we investigate feature tracking and IMU preintegration in visual‐inertial odometry (VIO) and design a robust SLAM framework that explicitly considers robot self‐dynamics. We propose a self‐dynamics and IMU‐aided feature tracker to predict initial optical flow and an iterative refinement ...
